Stand up, man! stand!
God's over all.
Why do you cringe to me,
Why do you bend tbe knee,
Ami creep, and fawn and crawl?
Stand up, man! stand !
If I thought our English laud
Had no true-hearted poor,
To suffer and endure—
And hold themselves erect,
In the light of their own respect,
I'd'blush ihat I was English born !
And run away to the wilderness to free myself
from -corn.
Stand up, man 1 stand !
God made us all I
The wine transcends the froth—
The living skin, tbe oloth—
l.oth rich and poor are small.
Stand up. man '. stand !.
Free heart, free tongue, free hand,
Firm foot upon the sod,
And eyes that fear but God—
"Whate'er your state or name,
Let these prefer your claim !
If there be anything you want—
Speak up! we may respect a churl, but we hate a

Relic, of tue Olden Times—The ■' Deep, deep
Sea," Yielding dp its Spoil.—The schooner Sears,
ville, Capt. Sears, which arrived here on Saturday
from Trinidad, was loaded principally with old
iron, guns, and an anchor, fron*. the remains of
Spanish men of war that were burnt in the Gulf
of Paria, near the Port ot Spain In 1736, at the
time they were blockaded by the English fleet.
We gain the following particulai-3 from a passenger on board the Searsville who was present during the submarine operations, and who has several interesting relics from tbe wreck.
The American schooner Silver Key, Capt. Clark,
which belongs? to the Submarine Diving Company
of Boston, visited the Gulf of Paria, and obtained
permission from Gov. Elliot of Trinidad to operate in that vicinity. In Chaquaramas Bay, about
ten miles to the west of the Port of Spain, he
found in about six fathoms of water the remains
ofthe Spanish Seat, commanded by Apodaca, at the
time the English expedition under Harvey and
Ab.rcrombie sailed from Martinique for the subjugation ofthe Island of Trinidad in 1797.
The Spanish vessels were five in number—four
Ilobcrt Emmet ami hla Bride.
"Twas the evening ofa lovely day—the last
day for tho noble and ill-fated Emmet. A young
■ady stood at tho castle gate, and desired admittance into the dungeon. She was closely veiled,
I and the keeper could not imagine who she was,
nor why one of such proud bearing should be a
! suppliant at ihe prison door. However, he granted tbe boon—led her to the dungeon, opened tbe
massive iron door, then closed it again, aud the
lovers were alone. He was leaning against the
prison wall, with a downcast head, and his arms
folded on his breast. Gently she raised the veil
from her face, and Emmet turned to gaze npon all
that earth contained for him—the girl whose
sunny brow, in tbe days of boyhood, had been his
polar star—the maiden who had sometimes made
him think " the world was all sunshine." The
clanking of the heavy chains sounded like a death"
knell to her ears and she wept like a child ; Emmet said but little, yet he pressed her warmly to
his bosom, and their feelings held a silent meeting—such a meeting, perchance, as is hold in
Heaven, ouly there we part uo mo-e, In a low
voice he besought her not to forget him when the
cold grave received his inanimate body—he spoke
of by-gone days—tbe happy hours of childhood,
when his hopes were bright and glorious, and lie
concluded by requesting ber sometimes to visit
the places and scenes that were hallowed to his
memory from the days of infancy ; and should the
world pronounce his name with s-corn and contempt, he prayed she would still cling to himwith
affection, and remember him when others should
forget.
Hark ! the church bell sounded, and he remembered tbe hour of execution. The turnkey entered, and after dashing the tears from his eyes,
had separated tbem from their long embrace, and
led the lady from tbe dungeon. At tbe entrance
she turned, and tbeir eyes met—they could not
say farewell—the door swung upon its heavy hinges, aud tbey parted forever. No! not foreverl
is there no Heaven ?
At sunrise next morning he suffered gloriously
—a martyr to his country and to liberty.
" And one—o'er her the myrtle showers
Its leaves by soft winds fanned;
She faded 'midst Italian 'flowers—
Tbe last of that fair band."
■'Twas in the land of Italy—what a magnificent
scene* A pale, emaciated girl upon her bed ol
death. Oh! it was hard for her to die, far fiom
home, in this beautiful land, where flowers bloom
perennial, and the balmy air comes freshly to the
pining soul. Oh ! no—her star had set—the
brightness ofher dream had faded—her heart was
brokeu. When ties have been formed on earth—
close burniug ties—what is more heart-rending
and agonizing to the spirit than to And that, at
last, the beloved one is snatched away, and all
our love is given to a '• passing flower."—Enough
—she died—the betrothed of Robert Emmet—the
lovely Sarah Curran. Italy contains her last remains—its flowers breathe their fragrance over
her grave, and the lulling tones of the shepherd's
flute sound a requiem to her memory.

Snow.—An editor of a paper in the interior is
rejoicing at tbe melting of the snow, which has
covered.the ground in his neighborhood since
Christmas. He gives vent to bis feelings in the
words of tbe poet :
" Farewell, old snow !
You've been enjoyed, you have old fellow !

Are whitened for the other side cf Jordan
River; and  by the young folks, the cheeks or

Though dipped in the deep carnation of the deathless
Rose, you have made redder and reddeer—even as

As an awful great big blood beet.
But you're bound to go !
Again we bid you a long farewell, humbly requesting
You to call ou us when you visit this country

for better protection had been placed under cover
ofthe gnus aud mortars of tLe Fort of Gasparillo.
When tbe English Seet anchored within range,
Apodaca perceiving the impossibility of escape
without engaging, set his vessels on Bre to prevent tbem falling into tbe hanih of the enemy ;
the money having been landed on tbe opposite
coast. One of the line*of-battle ships, by being to
windward of the rest, was eventually captured by
the English, but four burnt to tbe water's edge
and eunk with the gnus, from the wreck of which
the principal part of tbe present cargo of the
Searsville ie taken, consisting of about ninety
guns. During the operations two six pounders of
brass, in a remarkable state of preservation, have
also been rescued from the deep. Their surface
was covered with pitch and their bores were filled
with the same material. They presented a bright,
smooth surface, having been protected from corrosion by the artificial covering in which they
were enveloped. They are of Spanish manufacture, having been founded in Seville, and are mark,
ed respectively 5th August, 1776, aud 11th April,
1777.
Their wught ia 770 each. The timber raised
from the wrecks present a wonderful state of pre
Bervatiou—pieces of pitch pine in almost a perfect
state, having resisted the action of salt water for
fifty-nine years. While oak and other timber, and
tbe iron thereto attached, were nearly destroyed
copper and pitch pine have resisted the effect of
the water almost entirely. The duty on tbis iron,
we understand, will be paid under protest.—
Claiming, as the company does, that it should be
duty free, having been regained from abandoned
wrecks by American enterprise, it seems to us
that this presents a new question, which admits of
a strong argument in its favor.—JY. Y. Jour.

God Bless tlie Honest Laborer.
God bless the honest laborer,
The hardy son of toil,
The worker in the clattering mills,
The delver in the soil ;
The one whose brawny arms have torn
From earth her hoarded wealth,
Whose sole return from ceaseless toil,
Is nature's boon—sweet health.
Bless him who wields the ponderous sledge,
Clad in his leathern mail,
That safe as warrior's panoply,
Guards from the seething hail
That gushes from beneath the strolie,
Each mighty crushing blow,
Who seek, to lighten labor's toil,
Where the red tires glow,
Elcss bim who turns the matted soil,
Who with the early dawn,
Hastens to gather nature's store—
Hastens to the yellow corn ;
Who plants in nature's bosom wide
The fruitful golden grain,
That gives to it her guardian care—-
The sunshine and the rain.
Bless him who lays the massive keel,
Who l.endstke trusty sail,
That bids tbe ocean wanderers
Safe battle with the gale ;
Who rears the tall and slender maat,
Whence float to every breeze,
The stars and stripes of liberty,
A rainbow o'er the seas.
Bless liim whose ribbed palace resta-
UpoQ the heaving sea,
Who scorns the danger of the flood,
The breaker guarded lea ;
Who in the ocean cradle sleeps
Calmly in storm-fraught hour—
tail'earing that bis bark will quail
Before the tempest's power.
Bless him who gives each beauteous thought
A resting place, a name,
And twines its ancient glories
With the fadeless wreath of fame ;
Who sends it forth on every breeze,
And bids it live to bless,
While ceaseless click the slender type,
And groans the printing press.
Bless all who toil.    God's blessing rest
On them with double power
Whose honest brow the sweat-diop deck,
In every daylight hour.
Bless them tho' poor ; and may they win
What wealth can never gain—

A few months ago, as Deacon Ingalls, of
Swampstown. R. I., was travelling through the
western part of the State of New York, he fell
in with an Irishman who had lately arrived in
this country, and was in quest of a brother who
came before him. and settled in some of the dlg-

Pat was a stiong athletic man, a true Catholic,

Ingalls was a good and pious man. He told
Pat he was going to church himself, and invited
his newt-iade acquaintance to keep him company
thither, (his place of destination being a small
.iGthod-St-neetmg house near bv). There was a
great r_v!v;.l there at the time, and one of the
deacons (who, by tho way, was very small in
stature.) invited brother Ingalls to take a seat in
his pew. He accepted the invitation aad walked
in, followed by Pat, who looked in vain to find
the altar, etc. After he was seated, he turned to
brother Ingalls, aud in a whisper which could be
heard all around, inquired :
i: Sure, an isn't this a hiritlc church _"
"Hush," said Ingalls.    " If you speak a loud
word, they will put yon out.-'-'
" Diyil a word will 1 speak at all. at all/' replied Fat.
The mceting.was opened by prayer by the pastor. Fat was eyeing him very closely, when an
old gentle-aian, who was standing in the pew directly iu front of Fat, shouted i: glory."
"Ilist-L-t, ye clear divil,:i rejoined Pat, with his
loud whisper, which was clearly heard by the minister, -bedaeent, and don't make a blackguard
The parson grew more and more fervent in his
devotions. Presently the deacon uttered an aa-
dible groan.
"Histt-sfc, ye blackguard; have ye no dacency
at all at all?" said Fat, at the same time giving
ihe deteon a punch in the ribs, which caused him
nearly to lose his equilibrium. The minister
slopped, and, extending his hand in a supplicating
manner, said :
"Brethren, we cannot be disturbed in this way.
Will some one put that man out?"
'■ Yes, your riverance," shouted Pat, " I will,"
and suiting the action to the word, he collared
the deacon, and to the utter horror and astonishment ol the pastor, brother Ingalls, and the whole
congregation, he dragged him through the aisle,
and with a tremendous kick he landed him in the
vestibule of the church.

Sir Walter Scott wrote " The race of mankind
would perish did we cease to help each other.—
From the time that the mother binds the child's
head till the moment that some kind assistance
wipes the death damp from the brow ofthe dying,
we cannot exist without mutual help. All. therefore, that need aid, have a right to ask it of their
fellow-mortals, and no one, who has it in his power to "-rant, can refuse without incurring guilt."
Tlie lUulr-on'.  Bay Company.
In the year 1070, Charles II,. granted by royal
charter, to Prince Rupert and a number of noblemen, a tract oT wilderness, which comprehended
nearly one half of the North American Continent,
and, by the grantees was organized the Bud?on 8
Bay Company, receiving its name from the inland sea in the north discovered by Hudson. By
the charter the grant was called " Rupert Land,"
aud was bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean
and the Rus_ian possessions, on the norlh by the
Arctic Sea, on the ea.t by the Atlantic, and on
the south by an imaginary line running up the St.
Lawrence and through the Great Lakes toward
"the setting sun. The objects contemplated by the
charter were to dTscovor a passage to the South
Sea, and to obtain fnr_, minerals, and other commodities ; and so strongly was it worded that it
gave to the company this large territorial manor
in perpetuity, and au exclusive right of trade forever.
Stupendous as was the gift ofthe Crown of England, comprehending three millions of square
miles, its lawfuluess has never been questioned,
but it has been recognized by various official
documents and Acts of Parliament. Ia 1847 the
capital stock of tho company was $400,000, and
the number of proprietors'239. Its affairs are
managed by a governor, deputy governor, and a
committee of seven, and subject to their direction
are a number of subordinate officers, such as chief
factors, chief traders, and others with judicial
powers. The fur aud peltry traffic ofthe company is regulated by what is termed a deed poll, and
the expenses ofthe establishment are all paid out
.of the trade. The company have not, as some
suppose, a monopoly of the importation of furs
and peltries in England, but sales are made by
public auction several times in each year at the
company's premises in London. In I8__ the com*
pHoy had 136 establishments, besides hunting expeditions and shipping, affording employment to
25 chief factors, 27 chief traders, 152 clerks, and
about 1,200 regular servants, besides the occasional labor in boating and other services ofa great
number of natiyes. From the earliest times the
profits of the company have varied with the caprices of fashion, some years yielding fifty per
cent., and now and then nothing at all, but the
average profits ofthe last few years have amounted to only about six per cent.
According to the testimony of mauy travellers,
the authority which the company exercises over
the Indian tribes ha. been very advantageous to
them. In 1848 the number of church missionary
stations was six, and of schools there were seventeen, while the sale of intoxicating liquor is strictly
prohibited throughout all its borders. Wherever
the operations of tho company extend, its servants
have.opened the way for future immigration, and
the traveller, whether upon business or in persult
of adventure or sport, is ever treated by them
with Mildness and attention.
Nkw Argumext for Laziness.—A merchant in
this city, who is noted for his parsimony and his
outward observance of religious forms, compelled
one ofhis clerks recently to read the Bible through
when he first entered his service. Soon after he
took occasion to lecture the clerk for his indolence, wheu the youngster replied that he was
afraid to work very hard in his employ for
fear of losing his situation. The merchant was
struck aghast at this answer, and demanded
loud voice, that the young man should inform
him instantly, how industry could prejudice his
interest, with such an employer as himself.
•'Why," replied the saucy clerk, "it is
from a passage that I read in the Bible, that such
would be tbe case."
" How! youngster,—-how docs the Bible encou,
rage your laziness?    Answer me quick.'*'
" Weil, it says that he that is diligent in business he shall stand before kings; he shall noi
stand before mean men?1
It is needless to say that the young man was
looking for anew situation the nextdaj,—Boston

The Sheriff asd the Widow.^Au Alabama-
paper tells a good story, of which Sheriff S	
is the hero, as follows :
Court was in session, and amid the multiplicity-
of business which crowded upon him at term time,
he stopped at the door of a beautiful widow who
was yet on the sunny _ide of thirty, who by the
way had often bestowed melting glances upon the
Sheriff aforesaid. He was admitted, and soon the
widow appeared ; the confusion and delight which,
the arrival of the visitor had occasioned, set off
to a greater advantage than usual ihe captivating
charms of widow M.
"Madam," said the matter-of-fact Sheriff, "I
have an attachment for you."
A deeper blush than usual mantled the cheeka
of the  fair  widow—with downcast  eyes, whose
glances were centered upon her beautiful feet,.
half concealed  by  her   flow*-•_,•_  drapery,   gently
patting the flcor, she with equal candor replied :
" Sir, the attachment is reciprocal."
For some time the Sheriff maintained an astonished silence ; at last he said.::
•'• Madam,, will you proceed to Court ?■'
"Proceed to court," replied the lady, with  ..-
merry laugh : then shaking her beautiful head she
added,   '*' Sir, though this is Leap Year, I will not
take advantage of the license therein granted to
my sex, and therefore greatly prefer that too
SHOULD -'ROCKED TO COURT."
"But Madam, the Justice is waiting."
"Let him wait; I am not disposed to hurry
matters in such an unbecoming manner; and besides, sir, when the ceremony is performed I wish
you to understand that I prefer a minister to a
justice of the peace."
Madam" said he, raising from his chair with
solemn dignity, "there io a great mistake here ;.
my language has been misunderstood ; the attachment of which I speak was issued from the office
of Squire C :. commands me  to  bring you
instantly before him, to answer a contempt of
Court in disobeying a suhpeena inthe case ofSmi.h.
os. Jones."
A Good Joke.—A good joke was recently played
off upon the Know Nothing members ofthe Kentucky Legislature, The Senate of ihat State is
Know Nothing in the proportion of about three
to two. At the period to which we allude that
grave body was engaged in the discussion of that
portion of the Governor's Message relative to
Federal matters, and a long string of resolutions
of the culvert strips, were introduced and pressed
to B conclusion. At this stage Mr. Mai-Lin, of
Floyd county, a democratic member, took a copy
ofthe Constitution ofthe United States, and transcribed therefrom the following passage :
Resolved, That no religious test should ever be
.quired as a qualification to any office or public

The Squire's Georgia Widow.—Oh, says the
Squire, " I wish I was married and well over It*.
I dread it powerful. I'd like to marry a widow.
I allars liked widows since I kuow'd one down in,
Georgia that suited ray ideesadzactly.71"
About a week after her husband died she started down to the grave-yard, whar they planted him,,
as she said, to read the proscription onto his moni-
ment. When she got tiiere, she stood a minit, a
looking at the stone that was put at each end of
his grave, with the epithet on them that the minister had written for her.    Then she burst oot—
" Oh, boo!" says she, " Jones, he was one of tha
best of men. 1 remember how the last time ha
came home, about a week ago, he brought dowu
from town, some sugar aud some store goods for
me, and lots ol little necesaries, nnd a painted
boss for Jeems, which that blessed child g"t his
mouth all yailer with suckinof it; and took down
that good old fiddle of his'n and played up that
good old merry tuae—
,; Rake down Sail, oh, rang dang diddle,
Oh, rang dang diddle, dang day."
" Here," says the Squire, " she began to dance
and I just thought she was the greatest woman
ever I seen."
The Squire always gives a short laugh after
telling this anecdote, and filling and lighting his
pipe, subsides into his arm chair io front of the
'•' exchange'' aud indulges in calm aud dreamy
reflection.

Axecdote oi* Richard III.—In the town of Leicester, the house is still shown where Richard III
passed the night before the battle of Bosworth ;
and there is a story still preserved in the corporation records, which illustrates the caution and
darkness of that prince's character.
It was his custom to carry among the baggage
ofhis camp, a cumbersome wcoden bed, which he
pretended wa_ the only bed he could sleep in.
Here he contrived a receptacle for his treasure,
which lay concealed under a weight of timber-
After the fatal day in whieh Richard fell, the Earl
of Leicester, with his victorious troops, pillaged
the camp of Richard, but the bed was neglected by
every plunderer as useless lumber. The owner of
the house afterwards discovered the hoard, and
became suddenly rich without any visible cause..
He bought lands, and at length arrived at the
dignity of being Mayor ofLeiC-Bter. Many years
afterwards his widow, who had been left in affluence,.was murdered for his wealth by his own servant maid, who had been privy to the affair; aud
at the trial of this woman and her a:complices_
the whole transaction came to light.

war, Gen. Lafayette being in Baltimore, was invited to a ball. He went as requested, but instead of joining the amusement, as might be expected ofa voting Frenchman of twenty-two, he
addressed the ladies thus:
" Ladies, you are very handsome; you dance
very prettily : your ball is very fine—but my soldiers have no shirts?'
The appeal was irresistible. The ball ceased ;
the ladies went home and went to work, and the
next day a large number of shirts w__e prepared
by the lairest hands of Baltimore, for the gallant
defenders ot their country.
Sam Slick says " the littler folks be, the bigger
they talk. You never saw a small man that didn't
wear high-heeled boots aud a high-crowned hat.
and that was not ready to fight almost anyone,
io show he was a man every inch of him ; while
the big men arc generally ofa kind and generous
disposition."
The silver gilt inkstand used by the Plenipotentiaries in affixing their signatures to the Treaty of
